Art for the May Marathon of Art Fairs
Selections from gallery booths presenting at the multitude of fairs this month
Good morning and happy May! I am so excited to share some highlights from gallery previews for the art fairs next week. From my favorite fair NADA, to Independent, TEFAF, Esther, Future Fair, 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, and of course Frieze New York. Fairs are the best way to see as much art as possible in the smallest amount of time in the most confusing-to-navigate spaces.
I have been following several of these artists for a while, so if you like any of the examples below, please reach out to see more works by the artist. Also a quick reminder to always read the artwork dimensions and materials: there are some interesting ones in this edition!
The May fairs are always a frenzied marathon of events, panels, tours, and parties. Good luck out there and let me know if my advisory can assist with any of your collecting needs and general grounding guidance.
